picked from Ukar


Rowland of 607 fame has his latest book coming out soon if anyones interested,

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Phoenix-Squadron-Rowland-White/dp/0593054504/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1235118644&sr=1-1

I got an email from Rowland the other day ref his new book 'Storm Front' out on Thursday 9th June.


In a nut shell ...

It’s the story of a crucial period in the Dhofar War in Oman culminating in the Battle of Mirbat in July 1972, about the SAS’s Greatest Battle, and the British Pilots who Saved Them
